Fanny Hill; or, The Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland is an 18th-century erotic novel that follows the life of Fanny Hill, a young woman who becomes a sex worker after being abandoned in London. Framed as letters to a friend, Fanny recounts her sexual experiences, relationships, and the societal hypocrisies surrounding her occupation. The novel explores themes of sexual morality, women’s economic dependence on men, and the tension between desire and virtue. Notable for its explicit content, Fanny Hill was one of the most banned books in English literature and remains controversial due to its portrayal of sexuality.
